High Temperature Corrosion under Complex Conditions, Deposits and Salts: Towards Greener Energy
The current motivation to reduce CO2-emmissions has driven the worldwide development of new technologies in energy conversion and transportation. Technologies such as oxy-fuel combustion, waste-incineration and biomass-fired power plants, concentrated solar power (CSP) plants or heat-storage units based on molten salts and ceramic granulate make high demands on materials, calling for new technologies and surface treatment.
The workshop from 26-28 September 2018 will bring together experts and young scientists with research interests in the high temperature corrosion of metallic materials and coatings in existing and emerging applications for greener energy conversion and transportation. The topics for oral and poster presentations may address but are not limited to experimental evaluation of corrosion kinetics, mechanistic understanding and modelling of corrosion processes and related degradation of material microstructures, using advanced analytical techniques for elucidating the complex corrosion phenomena including those induced by deposits and salts.
